Do you need to be in NYC for it? Great if you are, but if not, you may still get the experience sans afterparty.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is my favorite game success in a bit. Putting aside that it plays to my sensibilities, it's a rebuke to every poor tendency of the AAA industry. I have no idea if this game will have any change there, but hopefully it'll encourage more small studios to chase their dreams.

Had the honor of seeing Yoko Kanno play her first ever show in NYC (how???) tonight. Absolutely lived up to the a decade and a half of waiting for this moment.
Yes, “Tank!” is as good live as you’d expect. But Kanno conducting the audience to sing “Space Lion” to close out was life-affirming.
